No ,our top 4 are Messi ,Neymar,Iniesta (not sure who is more in those 2 but I think Neymar with his contract extension) and then Busquets .that was mentioned during Busquets renewal that he is now 4th highest paid player after those 3 IIRC

I remember Suarez' salary being reported as 10m net(down from 12m with Liverpool). Neymar is on 8m isn't he?

That's not true, it should be Neymar the second highest paid player.

The calculation should be very simple. The player footballing contribution+ his marketable value (global reach, image and shirt selling etc)

I would say Messi, Neymar, Pique should be top 3 highest paid players. As for Pogba, he is only behind Neymar as most marketable player on the planet. This is why he can demand high salary.

I lol at people thinking Busquets should earn more than Pogba. This is not the way to run a business if you want your company/Club to be in surplus and make money.

No he is not. You are mixing things up. That link just says what they believe might happen. Of course, Messi and Ronaldo are far more marketable than Pogba, come on.

What would make pogba marketing, people all over the world are dying for French midfielders like viera?

Is it is awesome football skills comparable to zidane?

Or is it his great hairstyle.?

I'm going to be blunt here, when was the last African decent midfielder a superstar,their hs been many forwards who are,but midfielders?

His salary is all based on hype, this is a player, thiago has school, every time they met, at youth level.

45m euros, 6m salary.

That's it

Too expensive and over hyped.. our presidents are gone crazy because of the elections... but thankfully Juve have rejected the 80M bid.. it would be such a shame if we buy him for 100M
We will definitely be amongst madrid city psg chelsea then despite having the best youth system in the world.. Shouldn't break the bank for him.. get good cover players for the money instead.

I dont know why but how is Neymar so above in the payscale. He's just 23, didnt do anything to justify so much money. Think about how much money he will make when he turns 29 or so ?

Your joking right?! Neymar is well worth the money, worth every penny in fact. He's so worth it you don't even have to watch him...just look at his stats alone.

I am not talking about this season, but the season in which he was signed. He was one of our highest paid players from the signing.

I think his point is that Neymar with his 8m + 40m his dad got, managed to get a salary only second to Messi in the club(I think it was actually more than Messi before Leo renewed and got 20m). And he had not played in Europe.

For the record than I'd offer Pogba 8m + 50% of his image rights which I think is actually standard for us. Nothing more. If he's adamant for 12m then he'll have to hand over 100% of his image rights to the club.

There's a difference though, Neymar was practically a free agent, so he could command a signing on fee like all free agents do, while Pogba is very much tied to Juventus.

In fact Neymar had much bigger offers on the table but he always preferred Barca from the word go.
